From Crisis to Recovery

In 2008, the global economy slumped into its deepest recession in more than 60 years – banks failed, jobs were lost and global trade collapsed. Governments responded swiftly, helping to ensure the recession didn’t become a depression, and there now are signs of recovery.

But how strong will that recovery be? Will it last? And what will be the long-term impact of “the great recession”.

From Crisis to Recovery, a new book from OECD Insights, explores these issues, tracing the roots and the course of the crisis, how it has affected jobs, pensions and trade, and the prospects for recovery.
